Detailed Description
The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the invention. In order to simplify the present disclosure, components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. They are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples, which are for the purpose of brevity and clarity, and which do not themselves indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and/or arrangements discussed.
An embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:
slowly heating the inner ring blank of the bearing at a heating speed of 7.2-9.17 ℃/min until the temperature of the blank reaches 165-178 ℃; oxidizing the embryo to yellow; then the blank after oxidation yellowing is quickly heated to over 860 ℃, the temperature is controlled between 860 and 980 ℃, the blank is subjected to induction quenching in a neon environment in a mode of combining oil cooling and air cooling, namely cooling oil is put out for air cooling after the blank is kept in the oil cooling for 3 to 13 seconds, and the blank is subjected to oil cooling again after the blank is kept in the air cooling for 15 to 25 seconds, and is circulated for 4 times; then cleaning the embryo body with alkaline liquid at 30 ℃, naturally drying at the ambient temperature of 25 ℃, and repeatedly cleaning and drying for 3 times; the alkaline liquid may include 15% sodium hydroxide solution, betaine type amphoteric surfactant, etc.
Mixing the components in the first composition, stirring for 10-20 minutes at the speed of 350-450 r/min, uniformly stirring to obtain the first composition, soaking the embryo body cleaned by the alkaline liquid into the first composition, and drying after soaking to obtain the first coating; the first composition comprises the following components in parts by weight: 5 to 15 parts of modified organic silicon resin, 5 to 10 parts of polyamide resin, 70 to 80 parts of epoxy resin, 15 to 30 parts of acetone, 0.5 to 2 parts of silane coupling agent, 5 to 10 parts of reinforcing agent and 0.5 to 1 part of curing agent; wherein, the organic silicon resin can adopt amino epoxy group co-modified polydimethylsiloxane, alkoxy carboxyl co-modified polydimethylsiloxane and the like; the reinforcing agent can be one or more of metal oxide, powdered cellulose, diatomite, glass fiber and mineral powder; the curing agent can be one of silicone modified phenolic resin, anhydride, amino resin, dicyandiamide and hydrazide; the silane coupling agent may be KH560 or the like.
Epoxy resin is a common thermosetting resin, and the paint prepared from the epoxy resin is generally good in adhesive force, corrosion resistance and the like, but because the cured epoxy resin is high in crosslinking density, the texture is brittle, the impact resistance and other performances are poor, the performances of the organic silicon resin such as flexibility, high-temperature stability and the like are good, the active groups on the surface of the organic silicon resin modified by amino, polyether group, alkoxy, carboxyl and the like are increased, and the toughness and the adhesive force to metal of the coating can be improved by adding the modified organic silicon resin; the addition of the polyamide resin can improve the cohesiveness, toughness and surface smoothness of the epoxy resin; under the action of the silane coupling agent and the curing agent, the compatibility of the whole system can be improved; and the reinforcing agent can be tightly combined with the resin to obviously improve the mechanical properties of the first coating.
